BALINIT LATUMA

Powerful and versatile

The compelling solution for inserts,
end mills and drills

What do tool manufacturers, mechanical engineering, the aerospace

industry, and reconditioners have in common? It‘s the need to further
boost productivity in processing and deploying a wide variety of chal-
lenging materials while improving process reliability even under the
most difficult circumstances. The common denominator is BALINIT®
LATUMA, the persuasive coating for inserts and shank tools in metal
machining.

BALINIT® LATUMA assures utmost application flexibility

The reliable link between
chip removal and business success

BALINIT® LATUMA combines what belongs together BALINIT® LATUMA pushes the performance of your
– for your success tools to guarantee
BALINIT® LATUMA is based on latest-generation target tech- - Versatility and flexibility in the productive deployment of
nology and the systematic refinement of BALINIT® FUTURA our tools
NANO and X.CEED coatings. - Superior results in dry and wet machining
- Ultra-modern target technology is harnessed for optimised - Greater productivity thanks to higher cutting speeds and
coating structures and surfaces feed rates
- The high aluminium content enhances oxidation resistance - Reliability and long tool service lives for maximised machine
and hot hardness capacity utilisation
- The balanced coating hardness versus residual stress ratio - Excellent prerequisites for reconditioning tools without any
opens up a broad spectrum of applications performance degradation
- High chemical stability optimises crater wear resistance
- Optimised thermal shock resistance makes BALINIT®
LATUMA ideal for wet and dry machining
